GigTricks.io ICO Overview – Blockchain Based Freelance Ecosystem

Gigtricks.io ICO Overview

The following project is doing an ICO to fund the development of a new ecosystem that enables employers and employees to collaborate through a new system of freelancers using transparent, smart contracts on a blockchain. On a global scale, entrepreneurs get the opportunity to receive assistance for projects requiring additional labor.

The platform is called GigTricks and serves as the mechanism that brings together the world at a professional place where trade in services occurs. Freelancers have their profile stored the blockchain where the skills and experience are displayed in a transparent way where the attributes are verified. Freelancers are also exposed to all types of jobs they did not know because their skills could be used in the following fields. If you have the knowledge to write articles, design, code and more, there are huge markets that can utilize your expertise accurately.

Gigtricks vs. traditional freelance platforms

The price of services on the freelance market has recently increased a lot in price since there in most cases are more intermediaries that work for recruitment and centralized hosting of freelance markets. With GigTricks, all trade is transparent, and there is no one between the buyer and seller who is responsible for the exchange of service happens. There is also going to be released a device that allows you to complete assignments without being connected to a wireless network. Within the ecosystem, all skills will be verified and show your score in the selected field.

The project has already released a working prototype, you can test it out for yourself here.
